The cold wind hurt people's faces, and the twilight gradually became thicker. The sky in the distance was dyed with a pale color, and a few wisps of red clouds still reflected the afterglow of the setting sun that had sunk into the Western Mountains. However, the clear sky above was unusually blue.
It seems that it has not been eroded by the twilight at all.
Liu Yan looked at the Suwei Forbidden Army, which was like a long dragon heading out of the city towards the Majia Branch. At this time, a group of selected vanguard troops were crossing the river with sharp cavalry, responsible for covering the flanks to prevent the Imperial Guards and Navy troops from entering the Qinhuai River and landing to harass them.
A mutiny that was likely to push Vietnam to the edge of the abyss came to an abrupt end.
There were only 4,000 soldiers of the Imperial Guards in the North City who participated in the riot, but the Imperial Guards in the other three cities and the garrison in the city kept a close eye on the movements in the North City after the mutiny, and barely managed to calm them down without causing any trouble - Night
It is the most confusing and at the same time the most dangerous, especially the barracks on the verge of an explosion. The night is still dangerous, and the slightest movement will cause the camp to roar.
Everyone now knows that outside the city, apart from the possibility of landing the captive soldiers, there are only the elite vanguards of the Selected Front Army led by Shenghou Xu Huai and the Niushoushan Rebels. Therefore,
Making noise and leaving the city overnight is the most effective way to quickly eliminate the suspicions of other soldiers.
Next, the Jianye Prefecture Army will take over the defense of the North City, and the rest of the imperial guards will go out of the city to join the battle. Arrangements will be made tomorrow and the day after tomorrow - everyone is tired enough today.
The Jianye Prefecture Army and the Suwei Forbidden Army belong to two systems.
In the early days, the Jianye Prefecture Army was mainly composed of Xiang troops. However, after Emperor Jianji moved the capital to Jianye, he reduced the old and weak Xiang troops who could not fight, and recruited Jian Rui from the rural soldiers trained in prefectures and counties to form a new Prefecture army to be used as garrison troops.
.
The generals of the government army are mainly recruited from local households. They farm during the farming season and participate in drills, defense and repairs of cities, roads, weirs and embankments in their free time. In times of war, their service period can be extended according to actual needs. After the war, corvee service will be carried out.
Corresponding reductions and exemptions; private households can also pay exemption money.
The government army was commanded by the government's Military and Horse Supervision Department; its equipment was poor, and the generals even needed to provide some of their own armor or horses; apart from the normal food and drink expenses in the army, they did not have the extra military pay that the imperial army enjoyed.
Not only does the Jianye Prefecture Army have average combat effectiveness, but they also have little connection with the rebel generals currently gathered at Niushou Mountain. They are also not interested in Jingsheng Hou Xu Huai. The generals have no pursuit of meritorious service, and of course they do not have a strong will to fight.
.
At this time, the Jianye Mansion Army became the best and only choice to replace the Suwei Forbidden Army in guarding Jianye City. Although it was not worth mentioning in the past and few people paid attention to it, at this time, with the three thousand Qiandi who are currently guarding the Forbidden City,
The guards were the men that Emperor Shaolong and Qiandi's old clan could fully control in Jianye.
The three thousand rebels that Liu Yan had previously recruited from Zhujunzhai were put under the control of Yang Maoyan's direct generals after they withdrew to Jianye City. However, they were among the troops of King Qin, and the plan was then handed over to Xu Huaijie.
"Why bother?"
Liu Yan sighed softly and had no intention of following Wang Boqian, Zhou He and others back to the palace to resume their duties. Instead, surrounded by several family generals, he walked down the city wall to his home.
Although there are still a lot of things to do tomorrow, we have to wait until tomorrow.
Zhu Hang stood in front of the city tower with melancholy. At this time, he could vaguely see Zhu Tong and Jiang Ping riding horses side by side.
Wang Boqian, Zhou He, Qian Zerui and others returned to the palace to reply, but had no intention of greeting him; Qian Shangduan personally commanded the government troops to take over Beicheng's defense, and had no intention of coming to greet him.
Zhu Hang didn't want to go to the palace at this time and ask for trouble.
Who knows how Emperor Shaolong would react when he found out about Zhu Tong's appointment in Jingxiang?
Consulting officers, also known as consulting officers and military officers, are highly sought after as staff officers who are in charge of advising and advising matters.

However, Xu Huai, as the pacifier of the Jingxiang Road system, could only have two to four people under his command to join the army. Depending on their seniority, he could have ????????????????
Official titles of four to six grades are actually awarded.
Due to the shortage of senior civil servants in Beijing and Xiangzhou, Xu Huai's post of advising on joining the army has always been vacant. Even if someone occasionally took the position, it was quickly assigned to other posts. For example, Dong Chengcheng served as Xu Huai's advisor on joining the army for a short time, but
He was soon recommended to prison officials.
No one would compare Zhu Tong with Dong Cheng, but as one of the three or five people beside Xu Huai who advised him, who would dare to look down upon him?
At present, Zhu Tong has appointed the pacification envoy Si Yuan in the Jingxiang system to join the military, responsible for liaising with the Imperial Guards, conveying military orders and other matters. Now that he says that Zhu Hang has no collusion with Jingxiang, who in the world will believe it?
The eldest son Zhu Zhi went to Lizhou to join the army. For more than a year, except for a few letters from Liao Liao, no family general was sent back to Jianye to report that he was safe. Zhu Hang now couldn't help but suspect that there was someone in Lizhou.
The eldest son Zhu Zhi was worried about the secret that he didn't know about, so he didn't send his general back to report that it was safe, right?
However, what can I do now that I have guessed it?
It was getting dark, and there was no disturbance inside and outside the North City. Campfires were lit near the intersection of the inner and outer rivers of the Qinhuai River. There were many people looking at each other four miles away. No warships were seen entering the Qinhuai River. It must be a peaceful night.
, Zhu Hang then walked down the Xinhua Gate Tower alone, mounted the thin horse, and went to his home with Lu Wenhu at home.
…………
…………
"Daddy, he's back!"
After dark, a curfew was implemented in the city, but the war was chaotic. When Zhu Hang returned to the mansion, he saw that the door of the palace was closed with copper nails and red lacquer. When Lu Wenhu was about to knock on the door, he saw his eldest daughter Zhu Duojin coming from the top of the porch.
He leaned out half of his body, then turned his head and shouted behind him.
After a while, there was a "squeak" sound, and the side door opened from the inside. He saw his wife, Princess Ronngle, and his gray-haired old mother waiting in the front yard.
When he walked into the yard, Princess Rongle couldn't wait to come over and asked in a tight voice: "Today's mutiny in Beicheng was secretly fueled by Marquis Jingsheng. When did Tong'er consult with Jing and Xiang to join the army? You guys
What else is being hidden from us?"
Xu Huai led the Niushoushan rebel army to take advantage of the heavy fog to attack the camp at the mouth of the Qinhuai River in the early morning, and the mutiny of the generals in the north city had long been spread throughout the city, especially the latter which happened under the eyes of countless people.
Princess Rongle and her eldest daughter Zhu Duojin were inconvenient to disturb Zhu Hang and the princes to appease the mutinous soldiers, but they also sent people to the north city to keep an eye on the development of the situation. When the situation was most tense, Zhu Duojin even disguised herself as a man and blended in with the crowd.
They were all shocked when they heard that Zheng Tu himself told Yu Gong and others that his younger brother Zhu Tong had been appointed as the pacification department of Jingxiang Road and was consulting to join the army.
However, Zhu Tong, Jiang Ping, Zheng Tu and others, together with Yu Gong, Zhou Shu, and Chen Jinsan, led the mutinous generals out of the city. Zhu Duojin had no chance to catch Zhu Tong and question him, let alone climb the tower to get to his father Zhu.
If I don't want to go to Hangzhou, I have to go back home first.
However, just after Zhu Duojin returned home and more than an hour before the curfew, Emperor Shaolong ascended the throne and Zhu Hang was transferred from the position of Yin of Jianye Prefecture.
After that, many courtiers who stopped visiting each other sent their families or female relatives to visit them. They said that it was the old lady's seventieth birthday a few days ago, and the Zhu Mansion did not invite any guests or friends. They also forgot about it for a while, but then they remembered that they must give birthday gifts.
Fill.
Princess Rongle was inconvenient to refuse, but many birthday gifts were piled in the flower hall of the side courtyard, waiting for Zhu Hang to come back to deal with them.
Walking to the side courtyard, he saw the various brocade boxes containing birthday gifts stacked about half the height of a person in the flower hall. Zhu Hang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. After a while, he told Lu Wenhu: "Return them one by one tomorrow! Who else will come to the door tomorrow?
Come on, ignore it at all."
"Yes, our family is not short-sighted. What kind of scene have we not seen before? Now that these wallflowers see that Jingxiang is powerful, they want to crawl over, but they don't want to do it secretly to Jingxiang in the past.
No matter how bad it is, we can't accept all favors without any screening. Otherwise, if we fall into the eyes of Marquis Jingsheng, we still don't know how much my family is behind the scenes!" Zhu Duojin said fluently, "
I will write down the list of whoever it is and make it clear to everyone. I will return it according to the list tomorrow to ensure there is no mistake."
Zhu Hang felt irritable and didn't want to deal with this matter anymore, so he walked to the study.
Princess Rongle followed closely and said: "It is said that things that are not kept secret will lead to failure. In the past, you father and son should have hidden these things from us, mother and daughter, but now that this matter has been made public, who should we contact in Beijing now?
, you can contact them, which ones should be cut off from, and what should be said, you have to make it clear to me and Duo Jin, so as not to make any inappropriate words or actions in the future and annoy Marquis Jingsheng..."
Where is all this? Zhu Hang wanted to explain something, but he was stunned for a long time and couldn't help but ask himself, are some things really clear?
He was so distraught that he left his wife, eldest daughter and the old lady who was attracting his attention in the flower hall, and walked straight to the study.
